Jeff Bezos is on track to lose more wealth than anybody else on the planet this year due to his divorce from MacKenzie Bezos. The net worth of the Amazon.com Inc. chief executive officer has fallen $13.6 billion to $111.4 billion after the split saw a quarter of his holdings in the online retailer transfer to his wife of 25 years.

She was there from the beginning and was instrumental in building the company, so it's a bit disingenuous to act as though she's taking his money away from him. That isn't how marital assets work

How is he taking such a small dip from a divorce? Shouldn't the wife that was with him when he looked like a Bernie Sanders cosplay and before he was rich get more than that?

It's pointless to try and convince CEmen that women are anything more helpful than a trophy to confirm status earned by a man.

When you can give someone $13,000,000,000 to go away and still have $111,000,000,000 left.

Yeah at a certain point a prenup just isn't worth the effort. Because someone like Bezos will never have to give a fuck about any of this.

Shame this all means less than nothing to us working folks.

With this case its different. Honestly since amazon was made initially to sell her book she deserves half imo.

When a pro athletes wife has to give up half its insane. Even if they were together before he was rich how many points did she contribute?

The 500 richest people in the world, all of whom are billionaires, gained a combined $1.2 trillion in wealth in 2019, further exacerbating inequities that have not been seen since the late 1920s.

That's according to a new Bloomberg analysis published Friday, which found that the planet's 500 richest people saw their collective net worth soar by 25 percent to $5.9 trillion over the last year.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, eight of the 10 richest people in the world are from the U.S. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos lost nearly $9 billion in wealth in 2019, according to Bloomberg, but he will still likely end the year as the richest man in the world with a total net worth of $116 billion.

Yet, they didn't take anything from anybody. It was voluntarily given.
Give or take shady government contracts, of course.

People speculate that the divorce was just a front for them to get away with cashing out legally before the recession where all stocks are going to soaring down the toilet. Bezos didn't have the affair scandal on his hands and he tried to cash out that much money from his share holding, he could be tried for insider trading and/or it'll cost more as Amazon's share prices would plummet due to the market's burst of worry in response to him dumping shares into circulation. I also hear his wife started a nonprofit and put Bezos on the board with the money.

Oh definitely. But most CEmen immediately side with the guy regardless.

But I can definitely see cases where the woman might of even complained that the guy worked too much and actively worked against their income, then still felt they deserved it when the time came around. Each case is unique and it's not as simple as the woman deserves it or not. Im sure a lot of the stuff is discussed by the lawyers

Nobody involuntarily buys stuff on amazon.
Nor does anyone involuntarily apply for a job at an Amazon warehouse.
